And that's the start of NERO FACTS AND ORIGINS : [Claps etc/jk]
If anyone has any questions I forgot to answer,you can always ask me[on this matter].
First the easy matters : Nero's visual model is taken from the twins and their father[obviously].As to why,nothing is clear yet.The closest thing we currently have is that random Capcom guy's false and inaccurate info and Bingo's book about DMC 4,which has a very questionable seat in the continuity.Until Capcom reveals it we will be in the dark...
Moving on to Nero or rather Nero's special feature : The Devil Bringer.Such a wicked and crazy idea.Not to mention cool.The man who thought about the hand,the power it holds,it's immense abilities and the speculation from the fans that would follow,even the gossip between fans that Nero would turn into full demon witha proper Devil Trigger,struck gold.SO let's all give a big thank you to mr Takeshi Okano and Makura Sho,creatores of Hell Teacher Nube[Jigoku Sensei Nube],where the main Character,Nueno Meisuke aka Nube goes throught all this,complete strangers to Capcom.Complete starngers I said?Allow to correct :
Capcom[in Japan] is notorious for "borrowing" ideas in the most profane way and while the inventors of these ideas don't mind that much,sometimes fans urge them to give credits.The three most famous cases are all from Street fighter : Rolento "based on" The General in the Hokuto no Ken[Fist of the North star] story,Rose and Guile[Both "based on" Lisa-Lisa and the Nazi general Stroheim respectively,both appearing in "Battle Tendency",the second "chapter" from Hirohiko "Vampire" Araki's best selling manga Jojo's Bizzare Adventure.].
Now you have Nero's Devil Bringer source of inspiration but is that all?Oh,no.Unfortunately Capcom didn't stop there.They started melding in aspects of Araki's manga JoJo,from the third "chapter" and onwards,where the characters develop an ability called "Stand".In a layman's terms,"Stands" are the physical and spiritual manifestation of one's power and soul,resulting into many types of Stands.One such Stand is Kujo Jotaro's "Star Platinum",a close range Stand that is always behind the user,attacking wth swift attacks whenever the user wishes,even when the user himself attacks but that's not all.Star Platinum has many more tricks such as grabbing the enemy and start strangling him,throwing him around use him against others.Pretty familiar doesn't it sound?Also he did a trick where it used it's own energy to explode and take the enemy with it,taking no damage at all.Sounds even more familiar doesn't it?It's the source of Nero's Devil Trigger.Shocking?Maybe.But despite that fans of the series[in japan where these are far more obvious than in the west]accepted it and found it amusing.
His character doesn't need explanation.We all understand it.
Now for some interesting facts : Originally Devil May Cry would feature Dante as a main and with an appearence that matched DMC2.While he was to do some of the things he were to do in the final version,instead at the last minute[before the "offcial" announcement of Devil May Cry 4,completely overwritting the "leaks" or "leak" to be more precise,from magazines] and decided to go with the plan that is known to use Devil May Cry 4.
Did you also know that ideas about a mysterious character appearing in the end of DMC4[the same way as Omega in Mega Man Zero 2] with no known past or background and he was to have a connection to Sparda,ally or enemy to Dante?Was this Nero?Was this always Nero?Kobayashi didn't even brought the subject,but it was already forgotten either way.Again that was during the "leak",before the final plans that Capcom announced.
Did you know that Nero was and still is right-handed?In the initial plan he was to have the hands reversed.[Kobayashi Hiroyuki].It is still evident in the movies where he uses Yamato with his right hand instead of his left.[His right hand is over the left hand when he grips Yamato.That indicates that Nero is a right-handed person.]
That's it for the time being.
I personally have no idea where Nero came from, so I'm looking forward to other people's responses.
